About Final Smash! (Smash Bros) A Fandub Series of Yayster's comics

Vox Dubs is expanding! From Fire Emblem to Super Smash Brothers!This is a casting call for a series of comic dubs of Yayster's Final Smash! series, a collection of beautifully drawn and cleverly written family-friendly comics based on Super Smash Bros. and other Nintendo franchises! The whole series can be read here!

This casting call is to cast the first season of my dub series, which will be published weekly on my Youtube channel. The first season is planned to have nearly 20 individual comic dubs altogether.

Necessary:Good audio quality (clear, quality, and with no pops) with minimal background noise. I will not always have music to cover up any disruptive noise caught in your recordings from your cat whaling in the living-room. Recommended microphones are Blue Yeti or better.Communication. I need to have a way to easily communicate with each actor. I run project servers on Discord, so that is my #1 preferred communication method because it allows me to communicate with everyone at the same time. However, if recording files are too large, I will need email communication as well.

Timely delivery. I give adequate time (usually 2-3 weeks depending on role) for you to record lines. If there is a hiccup and you need more time, I will need to know prior to the deadline (not last second) so I can adjust the schedule to allot you more time if absolutely necessary. Failure to do so resorts me to having to find replacements (which neither of us will want to have happen!) and possibly a messed up publishing schedule.

Voice accuracy/comedic acting. I would like to get as close as possible to the official voices heard in the Smash Bros games (unless otherwise noted), since they are very famous and recognizable characters. However, acting and comedic timing play a huge importance, so I will be weighing all values here.

Commitment. If you wish to audition, you must be committed to the roles you will be cast as. Most of the roles only have so many lines and appear in only so many comics. But the likes of Mario and Capt. Falcon appear repeatedly across this series. Commitment is expected for Lead and Supporting roles, but Minor and Extra roles are important too!

Recommended:Multiple takes: To increase my confidence in your acting ability, I would like at least 2 takes of each line in your audition(s), but no more than 3. Preferably with varying delivery or voice range.

Q and A:

How long are the scripts?

Each character only has a couple lines per comic. But across the entire series, the character with the most amount of lines is Captain Falcon with 23 lines. So every other character has less than that across the entire series, not just Season one.

How long do we have to record?

Most of the roles will have 2-3 weeks to record lines. Some roles may have about a week to deliver at least the first comic's worth of lines to kickstart the project.

Where are these dubs being published?

On my Youtube Channel, which has been publishing content weekly since late December, mostly consisting of Comic Dubs based on Fire Emblem.

Some characters are not listed here that are in the comics listed above. Where are they?

For consistency, some characters have been cast to voice actors I have worked with before that have voiced said characters for me in other projects, or the roles are minor and I have pre-cast them to trusted members of my team, or I am voicing them myself.

Note: I may audition for some characters here and have members of my team help to cast said character(s).

Good luck to everyone in auditions!-------------------------------------------------

Captain Falcon is a character in Nintendo's F-Zero series of video games. He is a mysterious, futuristic racer from the city of Port Town. Captain Falcon is described as an accomplished F-Zero pilot and renowned bounty hunter who is "rumored to be in his early 30s".

In these comics, he is depicted having a “fun” personality and a bit of a vain attitude. He often comes in and starts talking up a storm with almost no input from others, or making puns or spin offs of his “Falcon Punch!” catchphrase. He is however bothered when Meta Knight doesn’t recognize him without his outfit, even after he gives not-so-subtle hints.

(Casual, then trying to give hints as to his identity)I know how you feel. Nobody recognizes me without my outfit, either….. Oh come on. Falcon Punch? Show me your moves? Ring any bells?

(Heartfelt, sobbing)My precious son… You are too pure for this world.

(Jokingly)Hey, Professor. About this puzzle. I have a little thing I like to call a… FALCON HUNCH!

Jigglypuff is a Pokémon that has a beautiful singing voice that lulls others to sleep. Often shown to be mischievous and make pranks on those caught asleep.

In these comics, Jigglypuff is depicted as a cocky and prideful individual, often mocking those s/he defeats and being motivated to go to extremes to become the best when they are considered the worst.

Since Jigglypuff doesn't canonly say anything other than "Jigglypuff" and various quips based on it's name, the voice is largely up to interpretation, and I don't have an official reference. But I'm looking for something of a higher pitched voice with a cocky attitude for sure.

(Mocking an opponent after just having defeated them)"Ha! You call yourself the most powerful Pokémon in the world? I don’t think so! This’ll haunt your DREAMS, bucko!"

(To self, in a workout montage narrative sort of style)

"Through meditation… exercise… and the pièce de résistance… a moon stone!"

Mario is pretty much a household name if you have any friends or family that have even heard of a videogame. Mario is the titular character of the Super Mario franchise, and is recognizably the most famous video game character next to Pacman.

In these comics, Mario is pretty much like his canonical self personality-wise; friendly, cheerful, and often assuming a leadership role. He is shown managing recruit try-outs or suggesting icebreakers in get-togethers, and greeting others in a gleeful way. He appears in many comics of this series’ comics in some form or another, most often with one-liners, however.

(Cheerful)

Ah, Kirby! It’s a beautiful day for Smash, isn’t it?

(Dryly)

Are you sure you’re a Pokémon?

(Happy, a little eager)

It’s-a so great that we are finally all together! Why don’t we start with a little Icebreaker?

Wii Fit Trainer is the instructor and guide of the Wii Fit series of fitness games.

In these comics, the Wii Fit Trainer is stylized in the female incarnation. Characterized as a super health-nut that takes hygiene and physical health as priority number one, even going as far as making taunts revolve around the opponent’s health, or making ghost stories about calories. Her personality is often straightforward and she sometimes displays a bad bedside manner.

(to self, in a "I'm sick of this" sort of way)

Oh, this is the last straw. It’s one thing to have this many calories… but this is a major health violation!

(dryly, informative)

You lost....Also, your BMI puts you at risk of the following diseases.

(reading like a ghost story)

Hands shaking, you study the packaging. It wasn’t 200 calories… It was 200 calories per piece!

Meta Knight is a major character in the Kirby series. He is the leader of an army of soldiers known as the Meta-Knights, and captains a large airship called Battleship Halberd. Due to Meta Knight's way of doing things and his often-hidden intentions, he has been seen as either a bitter rival or a steadfast ally to Kirby.

In these comics, he is depicted as being an often self-concerned individual, either trying to get into the tournament bracket by faking as another character, or being frustrated Mario doesn’t recognize him without his mask, but then he himself not recognizing Captain Falcon next to him.

Ike first appears in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and is the leader of the Greil Mercenaries. He is a tough, selfless, strong-willed general who is protective of his friends and family. Despite being laud a great hero, Ike remains humble and never says more than what's necessary.

In these comics, Ike is sometimes depicted as being honest to a fault, usually his own. He is often put into situations that are either uncomfortable from the start, or lead to an uncomfortable result, either by fault of his honesty or sheer misfortune. He usually retains a stoic demeanor, but he is shown to loudly display his discomfort at least once.

I would like Ike to sound like his Japanese voice in terms of range, with a matter-of-fact tone to what he says most of the time.

(blunt, and then a bit tired)

I don’t ride a horse. *sigh* Who invited him, again?

(telling of his training to a talk-show host)

It’s all about an intense training regime against the toughest opponents. Just yesterday I fought a dog and a fitness trainer on top of a spaceship.

Robin is the tactician and customizable avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. He is strategically intelligent and is highly ingenious, creating strategies on the fly and even whipping up "crazy" plans or new war tactics out of pure inspiration. Robin's history is shrouded in mystery, making him the greatest enigma of the Shepherds.

In these comics, the male incarnation of Robin is often curious and friendly. He is shown to be excited of new things, however he is abusive of his powers in Smash, using them for trivial things. He has an addiction to matchmaking, setting up impromptu dates between two people because of the gameplay mechanics in his original game, which leads to awkward scenarios for others.

(talking aloud, Impressed and then curious)

These Arwings are a magical marvel! I wonder how they work

(confidently, and then calling out)

Oh, I have it in hand. CHROM!

(excited, bubbly)

B-b-but… The agility of the Zero Suit… The power of Limit Break… Think of the offspring!

Robin is the tactician and customizable avatar in Fire Emblem Awakening. She is strategically intelligent and is highly ingenious, creating strategies on the fly and even whipping up "crazy" plans or new war tactics out of pure inspiration.The Robin's history is shrouded in mystery, making her the greatest enigma of the Shepherds.

In these comics, the female version of Robin is depicted as being ruthlessly tactical. Unlike the male incarnation, she appears to have a bit of a mean streak, taunting Lucina after defeating her, and using simple but dastardly means to give Corrin a disadvantage in battle.

Falco Lombardi is a member of an avian race and ace pilot of the Star Fox team. He is also a good friend and friendly rival to Fox McCloud. He usually retains his brash, cool, and collected behavior. Although he's an ace pilot, Falco is sometimes caught in situations in which he cannot escape, and must rely on Fox for assistance, often to his chagrin.

In these comics, He is depicted with his classic brash nature and collected attitude. He isn’t phased easily, like when Fox points out he is being a hypocrite after Falco criticized something, nor when he walks out into a common room without his pants on. He also seems to demean others often.

I would like Falco to sound like his Starfox 64 voice or his most recent voice from Starfox 64 3D, Zero and Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and 3DS

Samus Aran is an intergalactic bounty hunter and the main protagonist of the Metroid series. Her parents were killed by a space pirate known as Ridley. When Samus became a warrior, she sought vengeance for the death of her parents, while simultaneously saving the galaxy from the Metroid, an extremely dangerous alien species. Typically, Samus is depicted as a melancholic, heroic loner of few words.

In these comics, Samus is depicted being a no-nonsense character. She facepalms to one character’s dad joke, complains about an item, and melancholically narrates a backstory of how Smash started.

(a bit disgusted)

Ugh.... the smoke ball has to be one of the worst items ever.

(narrative, flashbacking)

People often ask me… why do we fight? What turned lifelong friends… into enemies?

King Dedede is Kirby's arch-enemy and the main antagonist and/or anti-hero in the Kirby series. He is the greedy self-proclaimed king of Dream Land. Although Dedede is a primary antagonist, he is not necessarily evil. Whenever he is the villain of his own volition in the games, it is usually due to selfish mischief, such as stealing food or trying to prove himself better than Kirby.

In these comics, He is shown to be his anti-hero self that confesses he has stolen food before. He is sometimes used as a sort of “straight guy” character to support the comic’s gag, asking questions or the like to keep the comic going.

Pikachu is the most famous Pokémon. In the Pokémon world, Pikachu are semi-rare creatures that have electrical abilities. Arguably the most powerful and recognized Pikachu is Ash’s from the Pokémon anime and it’s movie spin-offs.

In these comics, Pikachu acts as a sort of honest and somewhat sympathetic individual, one time giving an “I feel ya, man” talk to Lucario about their respective “weird family members”, and then in another comic stating that s/he is replaceable when they leave to go join Pokkén Tournament.

Since Pikachu doesn't canonly say anything other than various quips based on it's name, the voice is largely up to interpretation, and I don't have an official reference. But I'm looking for something of a higher or medium pitched voice with a mild, relatively relaxed demeanor.

(Leaving. Nonchalant)

I’m a Pikachu. I’m sure you can find a replacement.

(lightly sympathetic)

I know how you feel. My uncle’s visiting from out of town.…We don’t talk about him much.

Mewtwo is an augmented clone of the legendary Pokémon Mew. He is a very powerful being that has telekinetic and psychic powers. Sometimes deemed the most powerful Pokémon in the world.

In these comics, he is shown to say little and do more. He shows his power by wiping Jigglypuff’s memory of defeating him in a match, and he holds his hand of poker playing cards with telekinesis. Uncharacteristically, he gets emotional when he overhears someone talk about clones being useless.
